In an unbiased p-n junction electrons diffuse from the n-region to the p-region because:
1. electrons travel across the junction due to potential difference
2. electron concentration in the n-region is more as compared to that in the p-region
3. only electrons move from the n to p region and not the vice-versa.
4. holes in the p-region attract them
